About this listen

 Pope Saint Pius X (2 June 1835 – 20 August 1914), born Giuseppe Melchiorre Sarto, served as Pope from 4 August 1903 until his passing in 1914. He holds the distinction of being the first pope canonized since Pius V (1566 to 1572). Renowned for his staunch opposition to modernist interpretations of Catholic doctrine, St. Pius X championed traditional devotional practices and upheld orthodox theology. Among his most significant contributions was the publication of the first Code of Canon Law, which unified Church laws into a single volume for the first time. Additionally, he is remembered as a pastoral pope who encouraged personal holiness, deep piety, and a lifestyle that reflects profound Christian values. (Summary adapted from Wikipedia)
